Rivola Urges Bezzecchi to Disconnect After Difficult MotoGP Stretch

Marco Bezzecchi's heavy crash at the Assen MotoGP round added to a difficult period for Aprilia's championship leader. CEO Massimo Rivola openly acknowledged that the rider has been under significant pressure, particularly following the controversy involving race direction at Brno.

Rivola emphasized that Bezzecchi needs a week away from the paddock to recharge and return stronger. The Italian manufacturer still managed a strong team result at Assen, keeping their top-four ambitions in the constructors' standings well alive.
